Well, that was a lie in fact, after seeing them on day 1 I just knew they'll do something big. Switzerland secures a medal, but drops to 3rd place after Guerdat round. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted August 25, 2017 Author #153 Share Posted August 25, 2017 And that's a big relief for the hosts as Fredricson brings them the silver. I'm afraid that individual battle won't be as exciting though. I just don't see Fredricson having any penalties (much like Ward during his unprecedented win at Omaha WC final). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted August 25, 2017 #154 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Cian O'Connor, what can I say but wow!! Always delivering when we need it most and the pressure is at its maximum.

Is IT the same format as in the Olympics or do they keep all weeks score in the final? remember that Fredriksson was the only one without penalties in Rio but was not fast enough in the jump of so he "only" got a silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Fredricson deserved that gold much more... Thankfully, that silly format is used only at the Olympics. Penalties are carried through at both Europeans and World Equestrian Games. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted August 25, 2017 #159 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I can't put it into words but this feels so amazing. I have so many bitter experiences as an Ireland fan and not just in equestrian (but especially in equestrian) and I really needed a night like this for so long to lift the spirits. Just great!!!
